So cool!

Geesh, I was trying to sleep!

7degrees00'27.92"N 75 degrees48'26.28"W

Not too far from a river we've been told, by some natives.

Oh....your rain dance is working!

You guys are GOOD!

Aw, now look what you did! You made this little girl in the village cry because she got her Sunday clothes all wet!

Well, life goes on. The rain was nice, but not enough to get all the mud off. Sometimes you have to just say, "The heck with it" and dive right in! Who knew Delisa could dive like that.

Betty and I thank you!!! So beware of our mighty rain dance! This means you can't forget about sharing your treasures with us or otherwise we will call on the...................!!

We bow to you (for now). When we came back to the village it was only to find it had been overcome by a mud slide.

Wow Delisa, you are a great diver! Such grace and beautiful form.

I'm worried!!! On the way back to the village I thought Kell was right behind me. Oh...woe is me! I can't find her at all. And she should be so easy to spot with that gorgeous pink hair.

Has anyone seen her? I went back to look for her and found this waddling back into the jungle.

LOL....upon closer inspection it looks like it got into a fight with some duck tape! Maybe Kell is OK!!! We can only hope. Kell??? Oh...KELL??? Come out, come out wherever you are!

Oh, this is great! They've sent in the Marines to look for her in the mud! They're calling it operation Kell. Hey, Delisa ..... Isn't that John driving that thing?

I AM SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knew Delisa could swim in mud???

Edited to add, sorry Delisa but I want to be the thin one.

Oh Kell!!! Thank goodness! You are safe! Whew...I was so worried! Can't you follow instructions??? I thought you were right behind me all along and then poof....you were gone.

Delisa, thank you so much! You are the hero of the day, possibly the year. Did you have to wrestle that gator? If not....how did he get duck tape all over him?

Yes, we're glad you're both safe!

Those marines also brought along something that'll help us finish the rest of our adventure. FOOD! Since they did the usual American generousity, there's enough for all of us! So, we'll take our "Meals ready to eat" and continue on.

Mary, do you know where we are? And where do we go from here?

I'm sure happy you're along on this trip, I'm no good at navigating and Kell can't follow directions or instructions. I still can't believe she got lost in the jungle. Good thing Delisa was here to resue her.

Mmmmm.....good, we have food.

Gosh, even the American people are rooting for us!!

Oh Brin, it was a bloodied fight. Delisa wrestled the gator to the ground, pulledd me out of his mouth and taped him all over before he wiggled away in the mud while she gave me mouth to mouth. Thank goodness she is a nurse.

Oh my gosh.......... something is so fishy here and it is not just the alligator's dinner. Look what the satellite caught wiggling away. The plot thickens................................

Yes, Brin ..... I know where we are, and it's a good thing you're not in charge of navigation! That's the wrong Country! LOL We've been in Columbia since yesterday!

Okay, I have to admit I'd be clueless if I hadn't taken the GPS from the plane. Harry is probably mad as hell at me for doing that! He'll have to find his way back the old way ..... with maps.

Oh my! Ninja Alligators?

Oh no Mary!!! We're in Columbia???? Can you hear me now? LOL

Well, that probably explains why I lost Kell! I'm so sorry Kell, I didn't even know what country we were in. How in the heck would I know where to look for you? Sheesh!!! It's just wonderful that Mary & Delisa are around to take care of us.

What is that ninja looking thing anyway? Did someone try to clone a gator and it went wrong?

We've found some transportation and a guide at the next village.

Hop on, just one more mountain to cross

Those burros look small, I hope my feet don't drag the ground. I'm almost afraid to ask Mary, is it a big mountain? Will it take days?

They're small but sturdy. If we're lucky we'll be there before the day is over. Legend has it that the mysterious flowers we're looking for are just the other side of the mountain.

Apparently, some people didn't trust the burros, and decided to walk. At least the burros can carry our gear..... except the chocolate. I'm in charge of the chocolate.

Keep walking .... it won't be long now!

HELP!!! We've been robbed! He took all our cash, and even worse - our chocolate. The only thing we have left is this waterlogged "Wanted" poster that Kell got him to autograph.

Oh no Mary! Did he get the GPS too? I hope not, cuz I sure can't navigate for us. And now I have a huge bump on my head. Did Delisa get away or did they tie her up too?

Kell, you were flirting with him, weren't you????

It is even worse than that. He STOLE me!!!!

He knocked me out and threw me over his saddle. HELP ME! HELP ME!

Oh no Kell!!! You're in big trouble!

Mary & Delisa? Can you help? My little burro can't go very fast at all. We'll never catch up with her at thsi speed. Mary, did you think to bring the bazooka?

Bazooka? I don't even know what a bazooka is! However, I do have this sling shot. We've got to act fast! We need to save our chocolate .... um, eh, I mean save Kell!

Kell! help is on the way!!

Well you all better hurry. He just made me gather his favorite food for dinner. I am going to gag.

Oh yes, yes! Save the chocolate...hurmph, I mean Kell! And then grab the chocolate!

Ya know....this sure makes me wonder what Kell and that bandit are doing right now. It's been hours since we've seen them. If I know Kell, she'll have him taking her on a tour of plants and flowers. Look there first, Mary!

Oh Mary!!! Are you a good horsewoman? Silver is here to help us out!

There you are Kell.....what is that stuff? He likes that stuff? It looks all buggy to me.

I've been riding since I was 12. No fear, we're coming and I'm armed.

There! We slung a big rock at him. It serves him right, trying to steal our chocolate .... and Kell

Okay, a short rest and we're back on the trail again.

Thank God I have been saved. He loves it Brinda. He made me make him bug sushi too. CRUNCH CRUNCH

The spot the legends talk about is just the other side of those trees.


GASP!!

DOUBLE GASP!!!

Good job Mary!!! You got the chocolate too, right?

I hope we don't have to ride this trail for long. And I'm praying this isn't a huge mountain as I'm gettin saddle sores! My fanny is killing me!!!

Kell....you are so talented! Even under pressure like that you created such a beautiful dish. Was he holding his gun to your head?


Gasp is right!!!! I'm gasping!!!!

I need a bath first, Mary. Wait up.

Now the men are argueing over who those brugs should be named after! This is getting heated.

Now Gordon has offered to Ref. a boxing dual between them for naming rights.

What do you think ladies? I think we should leave them to duke it out, and we make off with the Blue Brugs! Over the river and through the woods! By the time they notice we're gone, they'll never be able to catch up. I've made reservations at these beach front accommodations. Thank goodness for Satellite phones.
